Do you guys think that bungie will just totally revoulitionize the HUD and make it say simalar to ghost recon 3 with the targerting reticle and the video feed ? Cause that would be really usefull before entering a battle in the campagain where you can see what a marine is seeing and get that idea of the battlefield. Or just say maybe change the color of the HUD and just change the shield bar and stuff like that slightly?
I say it should be like the ghost recon 3 HUD because its like the 26 centuary i mean guys don't you think they would have a little more advanced HUD? I mean it would not be unrealsitc because that technology is coming in around 2012 so it would not be exaggerated.
But hey that just my idea. Feel free to say what you think that HUD should be like.

I'm hoping for a totally re-worked, more advanced HUD that takes full advantage of the HD capabilities of the 360. I don't want Halo to be Ghost Recon by any means, but that game showed us how slick a HUD could look. I don't want a Halo 2 HUD with prettier colors.

I hate the Ghost Recon HUD. I say little change cause its still the same armor except for his gloves and boots. But then again, maybe its not the Master Chief. (sarcasm)

What do you hate about the HUD in Ghost Recon? I'm not talking about the cameras or the other features, though they are a part of the HUD- I'm mainly talking about the presentation- also, have you seen the HUD while it is running on an HDTV- that certainly makes a difference?

Once again- I don't want Halo 3 to have Ghost Recon's HUD- but I think Ghost Recon shows us the potential of how slick and polished a HUD can look. Hope that makes sense.

i said the ghost recon 3 HUD you know the really advanced one with a targeting reticle and camera so you could see what your soldeirs were seeing?
i mean that would help a lot if i could what the marines are seeing since they might go first into a battle i could see all the enemies and then plan my attack instead of getting damned sticked by a grunt.
but then again i see your point they would just do some simple changes but what the fun in that?
halo 1s HUD is very different from halo 2s HUD so shouldn't halo 3s HUD be different big time?

Yeah I have the game and have played it on my HDTV. In my opinion, it sucks and would totally ruin Halo 3. The whole thing is just annoying like the visor gets fuzzy and -blam!-. Its really lame. Again in my opinion.

Haha, did you see the part where I said I don't want Halo 3 to have Ghost Recon's HUD? I see what you're saying, though. I'm just saying that Ghost Recon showed us that a HUD can be presented well (like it or not, it's extremely polished), and can go beyond the simple "ammo, radar, crosshair" formula that most FPS games present. I'd like to see Halo do something more with their HUD than they have in the past, something more interactive. I certainly don't want a camera to view what other Spartans or marines are viewing- that just wouldn't feel like Halo- but I would definitely want some upgrades.

i c not good idea to mention ghost recon though i thought it was quite sweet. but i suppose that would not go right for halo 3. so i guess than bungie would probably do minor adjustements that would not really blow our minds away but just aww because it is in High-def.

Yeah I did see that part. I meant that to go to the original poster not to you. They said something about making it similar for Halo 3. Sorry for the confusion.

...And so the hero crawled through the fissure on the surface of Tyr. There, the lone Dwarf stared into the cold, dark eyes of Soulblighter...The fiend hefted his blade over his shoulder as a flock of raven took upon his form...

-TBG-

it may be cool if they would do something like Metroid Prime where you could see part of your mask, like seeing the Master Chief's visor

Hmm, I think I like that description. I've always thought that the Halo HUD's had that sense to them to begin with. I would love to see how that looks on my HD :)

NOOBLORD

a bit different
